Growing Pains

Sometimes it's hard to reminisce

Ay when I'm dead and gone hope y'all remember this

We was always in the streets it got us all apprenticeships

It was often like a full time job but not with benefits

So we tried to make the most of shit but no hope for a gutter kid

Worked two jobs to pay the rent on time is what your mother did

Daddy couldn't hold a job brother did another bid

Now you bout to walk inside the same footsteps your brother did

It's a constant struggle but I had folks that were close to me

Got they back and they got mine cause that's just how it's supposed to be

Brothers that we lost along the way so have a toast with me

And if I focus hard enough I still could see the ghost of me
